This was just posted on 'The Sand Band's' Facebook page: "David McDonnell will not be playing with Noel Gallagher & The High Flying Birds .. keeping it Northern & Avian" No further details unfortunately.

Yeah that's pretty weird, and this close to touring. We know they just started rehearsing so I wonder if something went down there.

Noel still has over 5 weeks to prepare and work in a new guy. I'm sure he can find a replacement without a problem. Gem? Just kidding. David probably wanted to focus on his own band where he is the lead singer/songwriter and make The Sand Band grow even more. They just released their debut album this past January. A pretty good listen if I do say so myself. Bring on the US tour!!!

Noel did say the band had never played together before rehearsals, so presumably it didn't work out wonder who they'll get instead...

Things are going well for the Sand Band and McDonnell may have found himself unable to fulfill his duties with them if he were to tour with Noel. Must have been a tough decision though.

McDonnell was counting his shoes.

The biggest question about the replacement is that it's probably also someone who can singing backing vocals. I'm assuming David McDonnell was going to be the one doing backing vocals.

I bet the new guitar player is either Paul McCartney or Bruce Spring Stein
